AFI Awards, USA

  • Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020)
    2021 Winner AFI Award
    • Movie of the Year
    MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM is at once a soaring tribute to owning your voice and a searing step back in time to expose the challenges of driving change in America. This symphony of genius begins with the musical words of August Wilson and is expanded from stage to screen by the incomparable George C. Wolfe, whose eye for detail and the many shades of humanity create an opus as explosive as it is entertaining. As the "Mother of the Blues," Viola Davis etches her name in granite as a true national treasure, and this film stands apart as a must-feel experience to know the power and poetry of Chadwick Boseman.
